“I don’t think that’s safe to say at all. The bigger ans more powerful grow the feds the easier it is to be Lincoln, or Lincoln times n.”
It is very safe to say rather:
I am RIGHT to say that there is NO LINCOLN-LIKE person on the horizon.
Obama IS NO LINCOLN. Obama DIVIDES. Lincoln UNITED.
Lincoln united? That certainly seems a strange interpretation of events.
You lost me at Lincoln united. He took by force, under the guise of stopping slavery. I’m a Canadian not a southerner, but it’s evident to me it was a war of northern aggression.
We don’t need a Lincoln, we need a Washington. When offered to be a leader of a military run regime, he turned it down. There is a man of principle and valour.
Okay, but how did Lincoln unite the country? Through radical expansion of federal power and waging war on the states. Obama hasn’t alienated enough of the country to cause the Civil War, Part II some Freepers expect, as Lincoln did merely by being elected. But he has expanded federal power, most famously over the healthcare industry, so that should we ever have the strength to resist whoever’s in power will have more with which to beat us down.
This is also true should the Welfare/National Security State face financial and monetary ruin. For I assume the free market will be blamed, and a more intrusive state will rise in its place. Which undoubtedly will be a poorer state, but the people will be poorer still.
